The public is invited to participate in archaeology at the Barracks for International Archaeology Day, October 19, 2024. Opportunities to help and observe are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The City of Lewisburg and the Greenbrier Historical Society are sponsoring an archaeological survey of the Barracks property in Lewisburg (934 N. Jefferson, intersection of N. Jefferson and East Randoph streets), partially funded by a grant from the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History.
The Barracks property was within Camp Union, the 1774 gathering of over 1,300 militia in preparation for the march to Point Pleasant, whose 250th anniversary was commemorated there on Saturday, September 28, 2024, with period reenactments and a special exhibit. The Barracks property is also just downhill from the most likely location of Fort Savannah, built in 1776. The investigation will be looking for any remains from these 18th century occupations, as well as the 19th century industrial uses of the area.

Open House at the St. James AME Zion Church Community Excavations
2024-10-19 09:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | St. James AME Church, Cleveland Avenue, Ithaca, New York, 14850, United States
We invite you to visit us at the historic St. James AME Zion Church. Stop by the garden anytime between 9 am – 3 pm to see our in-progress excavations, join us
in digging and screening for artifacts, and learn more about the church and our project and how you can get involved!
The St. James AME Zion church building was constructed during the late 1830s and is today the oldest AME Zion church in the world still in active use. The building is known to have been the most important Underground Railroad station in Ithaca during the 1840s and 1850s. Harriett Tubman is known to have spent time at the Church and Frederick Douglass also visited. In 2021, Cornell Institute for Archaeology & Material Studies faculty in collaboration with Gerard Aching (Cornell Africana) and Reverend Terrance King (St. James AME Zion Church) launched a new community engaged initiative to explore the history of the St. James community. Our goal is to use archaeology as a means to help the Church and wider community tell empowering stories of St. James’s past. We hope to inspire all participants to learn more about their community and its rich history.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGY DAY – How I dug | Archeopark Pavlov
2024-10-19 09:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Prague) | Archeopark Pavlov, 23. dubna 264, Pavlov, South Moravia, 69201, Czech Republic
This year, Archeopark Pavlov will once again join the worldwide celebrations of archaeology and we have once again prepared a rich event program. The International Archaeology Day with the subtitle “How I dug” will be in the spirit of this year’s accompanying exhibition How we (hunted) dug mammoths, which is devoted to the topic of mammoth deposits as a phenomenon of mammoth hunters, but also primarily to the work of archaeologists themselves across several generations captured in photographs.
On Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the gates will be open to all archeology lovers completely free. There are three guided tours of the permanent exhibition at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. Narration “On research under Pálava then and now with prof. Jiří Svoboda” (Institute of Archaeology Czech Acad Sci, Brno) will start from 11:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m. there will be a guided tour with the authors of the accompanying exhibition How we (hunted) dug mammoths, Mgr. Soňa Boriová, Ph.D. and Mgr. Ondřej Herčík from Institute of Archaeology Czech Acad Sci, Brno.
In addition, this program will be supplemented with several activities. In the exhibition, it will be possible to participate in two games not only for families with children, namely “Paws into the past” and also the game “Lost bones.” In the second of the games, after its successful completion, you can participate in a draw for interesting prizes from the Pavlov Archeopark collection. From 12:00, there will also be an archaeological photo corner, where everyone can become an archaeologist at least for a while and enrich this year’s accompanying exhibition with their picture. #jakjsemkopal
The entire program will be in the Czech language.
The program is subject to change.
A photographic and audiovisual record will be taken at the event. (GDPR: http://www.rmm.cz/czech/gdpr.html)

Archaeology Day at the Frontier Culture Museum
2024-10-19 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Frontier Culture Museum, 1290 Richmond Ave, Staunton, VA, 24401, United States
Saturday, October 19th is International Archaeology Day, and the Frontier Culture Museum is offering archaeological activities all day!
But just what is archaeology and why are we talking about it at a living history museum? Archaeology is the study of patterns of material culture, the tangible things that people made and used. Things that are still around, just in the ground beneath us. Archaeology gives us a snapshot of the past. Objects enter the ground, a house decays leaving only the foundation. We only get to see the remnants, not the activity. History, on the other hand, is the study of human behavior in the past, based on the records people themselves have left behind. You can see where one might inform the other. Both involve asking questions, forming hypotheses and doing research.
We look at all of these clues, carefully piece the fragments of a moment in time together, and create a picture of what life was like, for example, on the frontier.
So, what does Archaeology Day at the Frontier Culture Museum mean? It means walking around our Old World loop, the farms from places people left behind to come to the New World, and learning about different types of artifacts, like metal and ceramics, and also a little bit about experimental archaeology. It also means heading over to the New World section and being able to try your hand at excavation in our dig boxes and learning a bit about what happens after the artifacts are excavated. We hope to see you here at the museum, as we celebrate International Archaeology Day!
